FortiGuard web filtering is a managed web filtering solution provided by Fortinet.
FortiGuard web filtering sorts hundreds of millions of web pages into a wide range
of categories users can allow, block, or monitor. FortiGuard web filtering includes
over 60 million individual ratings of web sites applying to hundreds of millions of
pages. Pages are sorted and rated into 56 categories users can allow, block, or
monitor. Categories may be added to, or updated, as the Internet evolves. You
need to have a FortiGuard subscription to take advantage of FortiGuard web
filtering.
The FortiGate unit also enables you to override the FortiGuard filtering
designation, and you can add your own. To customize your FortiGuard web
filtering, go to Web Filter > FortiGuard - Web Filter.
For details and configuration options for the web filtering features and settings,

Logging
Logging is an indirect method of protecting your network. The FortiGate unit’s
robust logging features enable you to see the attacks, spam and virus activity is
occurring on your network. Using this information, you can then take the corrective
action necessary to resolve any problems before they become major problems.
With alert email, you can configure the FortiGate unit to send alert messages,
when specific events occur with specific frequency. By logging to a FortiAnalyzer
unit, you can run over 300 reports on various network traffic.
To configure logging, go to Log&Report > Log Setting.
For details and configuration options for the logging features and settings, see the
FortiGate Administration Guide or the FortiGate Online Help.
